I recently used it on trails when my fs cannondale was getting service.
Trek marlin 5 2021 mountain bike review.
But it s also versatile and marlin 5 is a popular ride on college campuses because the rack and kickstand mounts make it easy to accessorize and haul a load.
This is not my first bike but i got it for commuting on the road and gravel in town.
That means this bike will perform well in most conditions including climbing descending and cornering.
It is characterized by a versatile head tube angle of 69 5 degrees which is a good compromise between steep and slack geometry.
It s built in trek s mtb heritage so you get a great ride for all your adventures.
Trek marlin 5 has the same alpha silver aluminum frame seen on all bikes from this lineup.
